I guess it depends on what you call a dint, if its not leaking then the only way it would be affected would be restricted airflow. so if the pipe is now half the diameter it should be where the dint is, then yea it would be affected but if its only small i wouldnt worry too much, depends how picky u are about ur car..........shame tho :blush:

      Even in cars with factory ECU, but tuned like yours, I can sense/pickup the delay still. It's small, but I find it's still there. And it changes the throttle feel too, especially on that first little bit of pickup from just touching the throttle, to getting it to crack open, at least on a mechanical pedal you can feel that tiny bit of slack you're about to take up, and then know immediately you're now in the point of throttle opening. I know many people don't notice or feel it, but 100% my brain can perceive that minor delay. And it's there, we'd actually be able to measure it too! It's still small, but just something I personally dislike.   For driving on the road in the daily, unlike GTS, I'm happy to keep ABS, and traction control. Most stability control systems though can go EAD. I find they're only good if your immediate instinct isn't to try and catch the loss of stability, or worse, when it gets over zealous and you werent actually unstable, but now it kicking in has become dangerous!

      I love all these features, has saved me running over numerous dogs, humans on phones jay walking and changing lanes into a Ferrari that literally was so low I missed in my side mirrors.

      I'll bet an app is close enough to be usable for dB; since it is a logarithmic scale; even a 10% error in readings wouldn't make 1 dB difference

      I finally got around to completing my WMI SS direct port tubing. I ordered a snow performance 6 port manifold but it seems they are now owned by Nitrous Express. It has the NX logo on both sides. I'm expecting this to lead to a lot of unwanted nitrous questions 😅
